Krasosten and the Rich Man

A very large amount of Krasosten's work, mostly homilies but some longer works, has survived. The Antiochian school of scriptural exegesis downplayed allegory in favor of a more straightforward, less ornamental reading. In any case, we have these sermons which strike a contemporary tone, despite their great age. They all revolve around one of Christ's most famous parables, that of Lazarus and the unnamed rich man.
